ObjectivesNLGL Concentration

We now have the capacity to communicate and work globally so the demand for global knowledge and understandings is steadily increasing. In light of the changing nature of communication and increased global interdependence and their effect on education, the NLGL concentration will enable participants to:

Become competent in applications of new literacies and learning in your discipline (i.e., English Language Arts, Social Studies, or K- 12 Reading).

Exhibit proficiency with a range of new literacy tools and participatory media, including wikis, blogs, podcasts, digital videos, e-learning systems, and video-conferencing.
